Update on my 10.5.6 upgrade

After nfoav8or asked me if running SPDisplaysReporter.spreporter causes a KP (and it did), I replaced with the old 10.5.5 version 104 (10.5.6 has version 116), and that stopped the kernel panic.

Here's my new dilemma. DMG files won't mount and causes KPs, and my USB drives won't mount. Tried using the 10.5.5 seatbelt.kext method with no success (build 14 as opposed to the new 10.5.6 seatbelt.kext build), and I'm using the same 9.5.0 System.kext in accordance with the Voodoo Kernel 9.5.0 I'm using. My iPod and flash drives that uses USB ports won't mount, tried using the old IOUSBFamily.kext and IOUSBMassStorageClass.kext from 10.5.5. Still no luck.

Any help to point me in the right direction is greatly appreciated.


Well, I got frustrated on figuring out how to upgrade to 10.5.6, I decided to use PCWiz's iPC OSX86 Final ISO to install fresh. I use all the patches available, and used the Migration Assistant to transfer all my files and applications from the old HDD to the new HDD.

As of now, its working fine, all issues beforehand have been addressed (USB, DMG panics, video issues etc.). Here's hoping it is.

Thanks to everyone who helped.

I have a similiar setup, a little help please...

I have tried to get iPC 10.5.6 running on my system i can install it but it won't boot after install. I get the infamous error "Still waiting on root device"

My hardware is
Motherboard - GA-MA790x-DS4
CPU - AMD Athlon X2 6400+
Video Card - Nvidia 8800GT 512MB by eVGA
HDD - 1 IDE 30GB
DVD - IDE dual layer burner

I install it using the voodoo kernal 9.5.0, along with the chipset driver for Via/Sis?Marvel/SB.
Thats all, it installs fine but wont boot afterwards. Any help is appreciated.
